Thriving From Work

The Thriving from Work Questionnaire was developed to measure worker well-being. There is currently a short-form (8 item) and a long-form (30 item) version of the questionnaire. The Thriving from Work Questionnaire has been validated in populations of workers in the U.S. and several other countries. The Thriving from Work Questionnaires provide a measure of work-related well-being that can be used in surveys with workers. Developed using a rigorous systematic study design, the questionnaires have been found to be responsive, reliable, and valid across a broad range of settings and sectors. Further study of the utility and psychometric properties of the questionnaires is ongoing.

The Thriving from Work User Manual provides a definition for "Thriving from Work" and why it is important to measure, the process used to develop the Thriving from Work conceptual framework and questionnaires, the full English versions of the two questionnaires including the short-form and the long-form, and their practical applications.

The Thriving from Work Questionnaire Frequently Asked Questions document describes thriving from work and the Thriving from Work Questionnaires, as well as what these instruments measure and why measuring thriving from work is important.

The Thriving from Work Questionnaire Scoring Guide accompanies the Thriving from Work Questionnaire User Manual and was developed to assist both researchers and practitioners in scoring the Thriving from Work Questionnaire using some common approaches. There are a variety of scoring options one may use with the Thriving from Work Questionnaire; the pros and cons of different scoring approaches depend on the goals of the use of the instrument and the context in which the data are collected.

The Thriving from Work Questionnaire has been translated from English to German and validated in populations of workers in Germany.
